UK govt lunacy, and the end of UK LTDs as billing entities.
http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/bin...dband-ondemand
So the uk govt fined a small VOD co £60k despite the fact that they had moved the business offshore and put the original company into liquidation. Good work guys, that will keep the kids safe from all that free nasty porn. ![]()

explain to me the document please.. I tried to read it and from what I gathered they have been fined for not protecting their content from minors? Is there anything I am missing?
What is to stop a kid from the uk typing in porn hub and not strictly broadband and getting porno there? I agree that something should be done but not on a country level

Hence the lunacy. Basically the legislation says that any on demand service that plays adult video must hide the content behind proper age verification. No teasers, no pics etc. Unless the company (and editorial control) is based outside of the UK. If they are offshore ATVOD/Ofcom will not even look at it. The crazy part is that the UK industry makes up a tiny fraction of the available on demand porn. After this case the tiny percentage that is left will pack up or go offshore, entirely ceasing to be regulated, or tax raising for the UK govt. Good work. I would actually like to see some legislation that stops access to adult sites for minors. However this legislation does not protect anyone, and it is frankly absurd. Most of my business has been offshore for some time, everything else will be out of the UK by the end of the year. ![]() However all of the sites that have been using UK LTD's for their billing need to cease asap. ATVOD follow the money trail in deciding where the editorial control of a site lies. If you use a UK LTD you are now in the firing line.

And to be honest, Jerry at Strict Broadband had been on a crusade to fight against them and fair play to him for that.
*BUT* if 1) you've got legislation in place that you have to adhere to; 2) you've been given an final judgement in July (ie. you have to fix the breaches NOW, last chance) 3) you dont comply after the judgement what did he expect? It took a LONG time to get our sites compliant, and it has no doubt affected our business adversely. *BUT* we dont have a £60k fine to pay, and we're still in the game, making our $$$, paying our bills, and paying our affiliates who help! ![]() |

Looks like a win for Jerry and pointless exercise by the regulator. ![]()

Ironic or what ? RazorSharpe ? Many months ago I contacted Christiana at Epoch and gave her a full brief on this ATVOD outfit, she did a great job as did Epoch as a whole and now it is possible to block debit cards for UK customers with Epoch. I did this live on the phone with Cathy at ATVOD and she confirmed that my sites were compliant.

Lesson learnt ATVOD. Now the pressure increases as ATVOD will need to explain why there are so many UK sites not notified, why there are so many UK sites notified and still in breach of Rule 11, for example www.rosecabs.com |

ATVOD protecting under 18's from porn by checking 23 UK based adult sites............LOL ATVOD a quango that extorts money from legitimate BIZ to fund itself and then shuts them down. |

It does make I laugh though when Television X has a member on the board of ATVOD and at the same time they are running their YOUPORN channel at:

So it seems if you are a company on the board of ATVOD it is ok to breach rule 11 ? How can this happen ? Are the top dogs at ATVOD getting back handers ?

Come on keep up, youporn is neither owned by a UK entity, nor does it have its editorial control in the UK. Therefore it is all hunky dory !!! Breathtaking hypocracy perhaps, but all perfectly legal............I seem to remember thinking this before about tubes, stolen content, and DMCA. ![]() ![]()

However I do see your point as the televisionx website does not look compliant either. (it has visa debit as a payment mechanism)
